Arabic vocabulary
تَعْبِير is how you say “expression” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
وفي التعبير عن الأعمال بالسر لطيفة وهو أن الأعمال نتائج السرائر الباطنة
And there is a subtlety in expressing deeds in secrecy, as deeds are the results of hidden inner states.
التَّعْبِيرِ — expressing. A verbal noun made definite by al- (the), naming the act of expressing as a thing, and heading a possessive-like link with what it expresses. It sits in the genitive after the preposition; turning the verb 'to express' into a noun lets the sentence treat the expressing itself as the topic.
